Bridgerton: Shonda Rhimes reveals reaction to Netflix’s lawsuit
Last modified on Aug 02, 2022 15:02 BST Emmy Griffiths Bridgerton has been a huge hit, and has seen countless amounts of fan-created content in its wake, but none quite so successful as musical duo Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, who won a Grammy for their Unofficial Bridgerton Musical. However, Netflix is now decided to sue the pair following two live concerts - and executive producer Shonda Rhimes has spoken out in support of the decision.
Julia Quinn, who wrote the popular novel series, added:"Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear are wildly talented, and I was flattered and delighted when they began composing Bridgerton songs and sharing with other fans on TikTok. There is a difference, however, between composing on TikTok and recording and performing for commercial gain.
"I would hope that Barlow & Bear, who share my position as independent creative professionals, understand the need to protect other professionals' intellectual property, including the characters and stories I created in the Bridgerton novels over 20 years ago.
